The scroll of scare monster causes monsters in your visual range to flee, though some may resist. When dropped on a square, monsters treat that square as if Elbereth were written on it. A blessed scroll will become uncursed when picked up, and an uncursed scroll will disintegrate if you pick it up having previously picked it up when uncursed. A cursed scroll always disintegrates when picked up.
Scrolls of scare monster in shops can get you in trouble in the early game. If you pick up a scroll in a shop and it disintegrates, you owe the shopkeeper for it; if you can't afford it, you'll have to sell your other items or risk angering the shopkeeper. Be careful picking up scrolls in shops until you have a decent amount of gold. A safer alternative is to #chat while standing on an unidentified scroll; if it price-identifies as costing 100 gold, only pick it up if you can afford to pay for it.
If you need to move a scroll of scare monster without destroying it, try kicking it.
History
